Searing Grip, Low-Heat

One-Handed

Flame

Advanced Melee

The searing grip was originally designed for artists who craft their visions in various metals. The grip has several layers of insulation to separate the wearer's hand from the resistance coils lining the palm and fingers; as such, the glove is often mistaken for a simple well-insulated work glove. Lengthy application of this heat can soften many metals, which aids in sculpting efforts, but even a quick touch can inflict painful burns, allowing searing grips to double as low-profile weapons. The versions typically employed by sculptors are designated low-heat and high-heat, though this is a relative distinction, as both operate at temperatures capable of dealing substantial damage. The weaponized searing grip drops the pretense of being an artist's tool, though those trained in its use find that its functionality doesn't differ substantially from the other models.
